We are in Barbados during the day on New Years Eve,

We were thinking of Accra beach or The Boatyard.

Will anything be open on that day

or do most shops, restaurants etc close until the evening

oh gosh no..the island will be buzzing with preparations!

 

Shops and businesses will be very much open

and it's a shame you'll be leaving us before all the dressing up and celebrations start!

 

 

 

Do Accra. It's waay cooler than Boatyard

- not that Boatyard is a bummer,it's not

but Accra is a very nice place with a few shops around that area

as well as Chefette fast-food(yummy Pizza!)

and semi-touristy Quayside Mall well within walking distance

across the road from Accra Hotel,from which the beach gets its colloquial name!

 

Only reason to do Boatyard over Accra

is if you're concerned about being too far away from your ship

(Nervous Nelly type? I doubt it)

 

Boatyard's admission fee also gives you a ride back to the ship, which is handy

but at Accra, there's a taxis stand right there

and a bus-stop right next to the taxis!

and at 3-4 p.m. transport into Bridgetown should be smooth

Thanks Aplmac, for the great information, really do prefer Accra, sorry we'll be leaving you before the celebrations begin, I'm sure Barbados will be buzzing

 

thanks again & have a very merry Christmas & a happy & prosperouds New Year
